    Answer:

    Good Morning Respected teachers and my dear friends.                         Today I am here to share my views on why Holi is played and how it should be played. Holi is a festival of colours. It is celebrated every year on a full moon day in the month of March. It is also known as the festival of love, joy, happniess, unity, renewal and triumph. We celebrate it with vibrant colours indicating joy and happiness. There is a great reason, belief and significance behind celebrating this festival. Long ago, there was a king Hiranyakashyap; he had sister, Holika and a son, Prahlad. Prahlad was devoted to God. He was a holy spirit. His father, however, was keen on having everyone worship him. But his son Prahlad did not worship him. He kept worshipping God. This enraged the king and he planned to kill him by burning him. He asked his sister to sit in the fire with Prahlad in her lap. Holika had a boon that fire could not harm her. Holika did so. But she died in the fire and Prahlad was saved by the Lord. This originated the celebration of Holi.                         So we should celebrate Holi to spread joy and happiness, to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. We can enjoy the day by playing with colours, meeting near and dear ones, applying colour to their foreheads and having lots of fun throughout the day.             Thank you.

    Honourable Chairperson, Members of the Jury and my dear friends. I am Pulkit and I am here to speak for the motion ?It is cruel to put stray dogs to sleep.?                         It is rather perplexing to see humans torturing the poor and silent souls and putting them to permanent sleep. It is because they cannot speak; cannot express their pain and suffering?                         I want to ask who gives this right to them? In fact, every living being has the right to survive on this planet. God has granted us the wisdom, but we steep down so low that we kill another living creature, that too for sheer pleasure. Is putting someone to sleep a pleasure? It is a shameful thing. Such a misadventure on our part is heinous and all living beings have the right to breathe in the open air.                         Instead of killing them, we should find a different solution and relocate them to a place where stray dogs. Could be put together without causing anyone any problems. Dogs are very faithful and loyal by nature. If we take care of them, they too respond very lovingly in their own manner. Putting them to sleep, either out of fear or out of joy, is not sensible. It is high time that we take it seriously and punish the offenders adequately.
